Bang!
Why did they need to do that? I thought the .50 cal could go from semi to auto with a simple twist of a knob underneath the butterfly trigger.
I was scratching my head during that episode. I didn't know they even made a semi-auto ma deuce. I still don't know why.
I LOVE this show.
Banglist keyword BUMP!
And I am developing a school crush on Stephanie.
Back around 1975 I knew a gunsmith in Ashford, Alabama. One day he showed me a barreled action in the white. It was in .22 Mag. He said he originally intended it for .222 Remington but decided the really light action might be taking a chance with that cartridge.
It had two rear locking luggs and the action was very slick. The lugs looked plenty strong to me but I guess he just wasn’t going to take the chance.
If I owned a manufacturing company I would have bought the design as it was really smooth operating
Loved the suppressed shotgun by Saiga.
Rebuilt a WWII Flame Thrower for a Medal of Honor Marine.
Too cool.
Thanks for the tip. I just set my DVR to record them.
Great show – it has it’s good and bad points however.
Good – brings guns more out of the shadows, making them less of a ‘Taboo subject’
Good – Informs people about guns and gets them interested in the subject of personal defense.
Bad – The usual (most likely Lawyers mandated) do not try this at home BS.
What aren’t we supposed to try at home? Protecting ourselves? Exercising our God given right of self-defense?
Bad – Not sure if the producers of the show want to cast gun owners in a bad light or not.
In one of the episodes, Will talks with some potential handgun buyers and warns them that gunfights aren’t like the moves, etc.
Yeah, NSS. But what’s the alternative to defending yourself?

Great Show (IMHO)
With our snowfall here in Mid-Missouri, I’ve had fantisies about using
a good old WWII era flame thrower to rid our driveway of a load of snow.
I thought it was great irony when “Sons of Guns” showed the 89-year old
Marine (Congressional Medal of Honor) getting to shoot the flame thrower
renovated by Red Jacket.
I just said to myself, if I didn’t have nosey neighbors “I need to get
me one of those for the winter-time!!!”.
Probably would emit the same or less green-house gases as some
gas-powered snow blower!!!
I lost interest after the 4th episode or so.
Possibly the fact that I am a fabricator, a gunsmith, a reloader and a firearms collector may have swayed my view.
They should have stayed more to precision and documentary style instead of false effect propaganda. Yes that is exactly how they come off to me, showing how to destroy, how to be careless, too much false drama for effect.
IT SUCKS
Besides they pissed me off by cutting off the Mythbusters episodes.
